I don't like rye that much in a food plot. It seems to me that the deer graze on oats or wheat better than rye. I planted Yuchi Arrowleaf Clover with a little Crimson Clover on top of my fall Buck Forage Oats about5 years ago and every fall when I disc in the plot for the fall planting it turns the clover seed in and they come up about early January. Then I have my spring supplementalclover ready to go without having to replant it. There is so much available natural browse in the summer for deer I don't see amuch usage of plots after natural stuff starts leafing out and I don't bother bush hogging the clover in the summer. The clover for me is just a little something for the fresh bred does and rutted out bucks to have in early spring/late winter.
